Summary: Completely useless as a stand alone publication
Review: I bought this text for additional tutorial help and insight into an HVAC class I am currently taking. Unfortunately, this is not a 'summary' or 'reference,' nor is a 'thorough background' presented. This is a work-book, full of work-sheets. There are not even any answers to the myriad questions provided. If you are trying to learn the material being covered this will not help you. The text only asks questions you don't know the answers to because you bought the wrong book.

Summary: To much Head lines news. Zero details!
Review: This book has good basic fundamental in physics and math. But it is not UP TO DATE. Also, It does not have a well structurated design. It presents much info, but not related. Is information is old, very old. It does not cover new technology. I would recommend a whole review of its contents! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

Summary: Textbook of technical schools
Review: This book is the core textbook of the technical schools here in Puerto Rico, my father has been instructor of refrigeration and air conditioning for 35 years and this book (recent and previous editions)has been the choice for this course. It contains all the technical information needed for the beginer, and is an excellent reference book for the technician.

Summary: Good diagrams- but that's all!
Review: This is a good book to get a beginners understanding of refrigeration equipment. HOWEVER be careful not to buy this paperback edition in hopes that it will give you anything close to the hardcover's information! This is at best a good classroom companion to be used with a teacher at the helm. It is even set up as a lesson and answer book, just like in highschool. I was dissappionted when after the thirty day limit, I cracked the book for the first time and found that I had purchased a highschool coarse book. Good as it would be for that, the description is not clear about it. The hardcover might be the thing you're looking for if you would like good straight forward info.

Summary: It all begins right here
Review: This is the book that I used through my entire 2 year curriculum while earning my Associate Degree in AC&R Technology. It is very detailed and explains content for beginners and pro's alike.It has also been a good companion in the field. It describes just about every formula related to the field. It comes with good heat content charts for many popular refrigerants to allow the calculations for BTU/H. If you are planning a career or already in , you should have this book.

Summary: good general reference
Review: We have used this book as a study textbook for the last two semesters at college. As a student it has proven to be very useful. It has very good illustrations and diagrams along with helpful insight to the nuts and bolts of all A/C units. Where the frustration part comes in and is a mystery to me is what ever department that was responsible for reviewing the end of chapter questions and the questions in the test bank dropped the ball. It is quite evident that the questions and the text don't correspond. This leads one to believe that the department that is responsible for test questions and chapter questions do not have a back-ground in Air Conditioning / Refrigeration. I have used a lot of frustrating time in a futile effort to match answers with text. Its a shame that such an informative textbook be degraded on default.
